The position for a new moderator is still under discussion. As the forum has been managed over the last 15 months without too many issues the appointment is not urgent. I am told that there are some discussions taking place as to how the fans can interact with the club in a more direct way. That is all I know at the moment.

Save our Forum!!

Please, please, please save me from having to waste my time on the drivel that is served up via Facebook. Why would I ever want to know what friends of friends are having for their tea? As for Twitter - too many people with nothing to say, but saying it anyway.

What the heck does 'in a more direct way' mean? I've never understood this to be about interacting with the club - more a sort of virtual clubhouse, hosted by the club, so fan:fan, not fan:club.

Alas Grimlish, those words ' in a more direct way' usually herald the death of free interaction and collective discussion. I have heard them used in schools to marginalise collective staff complaints and union interventions, and politicians use the idea as a way of ignoring opinion and evidence.

I would seriously doubt however that the club would think it important enough to dim the Offy lights, more likely can't be bothered to keep it going.

There is no plans for the forum to be taken away.....more likely to make enhancements to it to improve the communications between the club and the fans.
This is a very active forum compared to many other clubs and has many users who participate to the threads.

Relieved to hear this, as I am very fond of this forum! Your earlier post did worry me a bit, so very grateful for the clarification!

As I once said, you can stand in front of 100 monkeys for 100 years explaining Einstein's Theory of relativity but, at the end, they'll still be monkeys. What still amazes me is the number of people who don't know the difference between losing and loosing.

Are you loosing it BJ with all these Monkeys on the lose?

Yes they may well still be monkeys but will any of them understand the theory, that's the important point?
